Al Franken

Al Franken (21 May 1951 -) is well-known comedian, actor, left-leaning satirist, author and Senatorial hopeful, who has written a number of books attacking the political right and American conservatives. In particular, his works have attacked the credibility of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter using a witty combination of humor and facts. He is best known to many for his work on the television show Saturday Night Life (1975-80, 1985-95), where he wrote, directed and performed in hundreds of sketches, although he started out in a comedy duo called Franken and Davis. His book titles are often humorous and offensive, as in Lies (and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Lair, Don Rumsfeld & Dick Cheney in Hell. One his books, I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!:Daily Affirmations By Stuart Smalley is based on his (pathetic) Stuart Smalley self-help character featured often on SNL. Other book titles include The Truth (with Jokes), Oh, the Things I Know, Why Not Me?: The Inside Story
